 Posted: 03/20/07 - 04:00 Post subject: File sharing problem with Windows XP |
 |
|
Ever since I reinstalled Win XP Home, I can't get the PCs on my LAN to share files and printer access with the main one. However, all machines still share net access. I'm using a Netgear router/WAN, and the configuration hasn't been changed since before the reinstall, but I assume that's what screwed up the network setup? I'm rather new at this (didn't originally configure the LAN), so I'd appreciate any advice you might have for me. Thanks in advance.

If it's the installation of Windows that caused this, then my money would be on the default Windows firewall. It's on by default if you have SP 2, and you'll need to reconfigure it to allow access to clients. I think there's a tutorial on how to configure it for LAN over at support.microsoft.com, check it out.
